If the old directories are to be deleted, that is usually more manual, and easier if there is a date component in some directory name. As you say, removing directories that are just old is perilous. For instance, configuration or software installed and found satisfactory for a long time are now in old directories. If this gets to be a pain, manually, you might want to consider your design from a file and directory life cycle point of view.
